I suspect that it is the weird path in the HTTP address that confuses
Pandion. I have now rewritten my internal http server so that files
are "mounted" at its virtual file system so that no "../" will be seen
anymore. This is (was) a security risk since an evil client can get
files from anywhere on your local disk if it guesses the right
relative file path. I still allow this but can switch off it any time
now since oob isn't depending on it anymore.

This time I even tested it with both clients on an XP box. Tested also
encoding names as "My (new) $hej.txt".
